GEORGE Seeley hailed Talib Copeland as Knowle’s ‘starboy’ after the forward scored a hat-trick in the club’s statement 7-0 rout of FC Stratford, writes George Revell. More than 450 spectators watched on, as part of the United Counties League’s ‘Ground Hop’ event, as Knowle stormed to victory. And the striker could not have dreamed of making a better start to the new season after scoring a hat-trick on the opening weekend of the season. They were fully in the game for the first 15 minutes and we were in bed a little bit, but we just worked really hard. “Credit to everyone, all 16 of us worked really hard and the subs didn’t make us any weaker as well, which is a really nice sign.”
